About Us
Our Structure
The Reuse Center
A project of the 501(c)(3) Boston Building Materials Co-op Charitable and Educational Fund (“the Fund”), our Reuse Center takes in donations of good-quality used and surplus building materials and sells them at steeply discounted prices.
Deconstruction
Our deconstruction crew carefully dismantles buildings by hand, recovering good-quality materials that would otherwise be lost to demolition and giving them new life through our Reuse Center.
Education
Our educational workshops teach practical, hands-on home-improvement skills at affordable prices, helping homeowners and renters take on everyday repairs and projects themselves.

Financial Gifts
The Reuse Center at Boston Building Resources is a project of the Boston Building Materials Co-op Charitable and Educational Fund, a charitable nonprofit organization. Because materials are priced low to remain affordable, income from sales does not cover all our operating costs. Your contribution helps the Reuse Center to continue its role as a community resource.
